INTRODUCTION
Building information modelling BIM is an important digital transformation which helps in
managing the engineering, architecture and construction industries to be systematically founded.
This creates a systematic approach and process which is being used in the construction sites and
business development for creating innovation and developing different types of business assets.
It helps out to construct new modern buildings with optimum designs with the help of BIM. It
generally create a plan with which a proper whole project is being managed in the construction
industry and it also provides the pre-construction through the Shovel hits in the ground(Xiao, and
Bhola, 2021). Construction industry have an important role in United Kingdom in order to
enhance the economy and also to gain the productivity and success.
MAIN BODY
Section A – Answer all questions
Question 1 – Sustainability - Analyse how BIM can support the delivery of construction
projects in a more sustainable manner
BIM is an important modelling system which helps out to change and implement new designs in
the buildings and their traditional architecture. This helps out in enhancing the growth of the
construction industry and also to impliedly increase sustainable demands with the optimum
facilities and requirement in the industrial sectors without affecting the environment. Building
information modelling compliance of different types of 3-D models that creates the structures of
the building with the technological advancement and the extra ordinary innards and features.
Some of the major advantages that can be availed through all such construction companies are
like the projects which is being sustained through BIM (Kurniawan, and et. al., 2021). It helps in
managing the collaboration of different insight building information and also through the
communication with the team members in order to manage the better coordination and planning
regarding the sharing the details of the project with the stakeholders about the designs and the
project that is being implemented for the future growth. BIM also focus on visualising their
projects through all the pre-construction methods that can help the customers to know about the
space which will be created in future and also to make certain alteration and changes according
to their needs and requirements before the construction is being initiated. It is being seen that

sustainable building is in highly demand and so as to deliver all such buildings the developers are
trying to design different kinds of systems through which they can give a future aspect by
visualising the project and also by focusing on the conditions and different outdoor features.
Sustainability consist of three important areas which are like environmental, social and
economical. In BIM sustainability helps in removing all kind of energy consumption from the
building project in the conceptual manner and stage. Their main requirement and implementation
for their development of proper and healthy environment with the satisfactory social,
environmental and economical balance building and construction it create BIM construction
project to be in an approachable method. The main aim of the construction company is to remove
all kind of activity start can affect the environment and also to create social benefits by removing
the local infrastructure strains, enhancing the working productivity, increasing occupants comfort
and also by providing the appropriate and pleasant environment to the customers. Sustainability
provided for building information modelling also create an advancement for the environmental
sustainable changes through enhancing the quality of water and air, restoring all the important
natural resources, removing all the waste streams, conserving and providing the optimum natural
light. BIM helps their architect to develop and create multiple design through which they also
optimally create an actual accurate models in a virtual manner and also by offering the high-
resolution designs and graphics in the 3-D surface in interface with qualified details and
management. BIM also provide the information to be clearly managed to sustainable effective
system (Lew, Rana, and Hameed, 2022).
Question 2 – Mobile Computing - Discuss how cloud services can support more effective
project delivery. Using an example to demonstrate how cloud services assist information
exchange and management within the construction industry
Mobile cloud services have some of the important benefits and one is the most core which is
known as cost saving this helps in managing the project delivery to be effectively managed.
Cloud computing creates the effectiveness in the cost efficient manner by helping out the
companies to provide and deliver their work and project without paying any kind of extra
expenses and also by managing all such working in a timely manner. It helps in creating the

potential delivery in the project. Another reason and the benefit of mobile cloud services is the
security which is being given by them in their project delivery. Cloud computing creates the
highly advanced innovative and technological security for the data which is being stored and it
also prevent any kind of breach in the cyber crime that can create any kind of lost in the
information of the customer or the client and regarding their essential and personal details of the
firm. I cloud computing also helps in managing the scalability and highly flexible areas through
which they remove all kind of access to the person through their services and also by creating a
remote working that can be promoted in anytime and anywhere from their general capability. It
in has the collaboration that helps out in managing the project delivery to be effectively
managed. Cloud computing also create a general collaboration through which team human
resource can develop their project and proper integration of their services in a systematic
manner.
Quality control is an important element of the cloud services that helps out in exchanging
information through their construction industry, it also renders and provide optimum help to the
construction industry in order to maximising the effect of the quality and also by creating the
final project through which the effective and efficient services can be given. All such disaster
recovery can be assisted and manage with the help of cloud services in the construction sites and
industrial advancement. It also back up and generally create a personal credentials from all the
losses that can be created and also recover and safeguard the disaster committed hackers and also
remove all the issues related to cyber attacks. Cloud services also helps in promoting the loss of
prevention of any kind of management and information exchange in the industries. It eight in
preventing all such areas of losses through which the company can be highly affected in the
reputation and can also damage their image by loss of amount so it create and manage a proper
systematic arrangement with which all such losses can be recovered. It also helps in analysing
the automatic basis through which the security and acquired new features can be managed.

Question 3 – Localisation & Identification - A colleague would like to implement a system that
warns the project management team if a worker is entering a zone where they should not be
(for security or safety reason). Suggest two different solutions, that implement different
sensing technologies, that could be considered, and discuss their respective benefits and
limitations.
Geographic information system is also being known as some of the important type of database
which helps in combining and also managing, visualising all the combination of data. This helps
in displaying the Joe graphical reference to different kind of information. It is useful for
managing and analysing the unique locations and also the general references of the system
through which the location can be accessed. The system also protect the companies and the
visitors from visiting any kind of danger zone and also provide safety and security by analysing
the issues and the safety compliance. This sense out all the problems by technological areas and
also by catching the light and temperature. It is quite expensive and it is difficult in order to
manage the proper training for the employs to work on all such software that creates the proper
geographical indication indication. It creates a management of absolute resolutions and also it is
helpful for the employees to manage and know the proper regular check regarding the job
graphical areas (Tan, and et. al., 2021). This helps out in advancement and also alert from all kind
of danger zones and areas. Virtual realities and also different kind of wearable‘s are used by the
technological advancement in the different construction industry through which the employees
and the person who are being working in the construction site can be alerted in all the different
zones from the any kind of dangers that can be affected and that can create hurdle in their life.
Other than this all such ultrasonic and proximity sensors can create a major help in all such areas.
This can be recommended to all the construction industry is to create a virtual reality and also to
wear and carry out different construction site.

Section B - Answer ONE question from this section
Question 4 – BIM Technologies - You have been appointed as the BIM project manager for
an international construction project. You will lead a team located in various parts of the
world. However, each team member deploys different BIM technology systems, and this leads
to some challenges in information exchange for collaboration. Discuss the challenges and
propose two initiatives to resolve them.
Some of the important challenges which are being faced by the architects in the BIM technology
system are like lack of awareness, lack of cooperation in their stakeholders, improper opiate
expertise, resistance to different kind of changes (Huang, and et. al., 2021).Some of the major
issues that are being seen by the architect in order to manage to be BIM technologies are like
they are not having a proper knowledge regarding a technological advancement and it is also
quite difficult for them to manage a systematic implementation of certain technological methods.
There is being seen that all such Hai collaboration is being analysed in the interested parties and
also between the stakeholders. The construction industry is usually focus on effective control on
the B I am technology with which they create a high level of expertise. All such trainers usually
adopt the technological advancement and all the construction industries focus on service
providing and effective creating awareness and training for the cultural attributes. It in which the
contribution in the designs for the productive output.
CONCLUSION
It is being showcased from the above report that BIM construction industry usually create a
highly significant and productive growth for the United Kingdom. This create an advancement
for a model-based cost estimation through which the construction sites can sustain and protect
their buildings and construction and also create an optimum designs by reducing all kind of cost
and risk. Mobile commuting is also an important construction industry tools through which the
collaboration can also play and help out to report all the issues in the office system.
